Heart Skips a Beat
Murs Olly Lyrics

My heart skips-skips-skips-skips-skips-skips a beat
I feel a strong and rapid palpitation of my heart that seems to skip multiple beats in a row.

I can see, you're not yourself
I can tell that you're acting out of character or seem to be upset or troubled.

Even when you're here, with me
Despite being physically present, you still seem to be emotionally distant or preoccupied.

So put another record on
Let's play some more music.

Kiss and leave me on
Have a brief romantic moment with me, then leave me wanting more.

Nothing really matters when we're dancing
The joy of dancing together makes everything else seem unimportant or trivial.

Listen to the same sad song playing on repeat
We keep repeating a melancholy tune that reflects our mood.

'Cause every time we come this close, my heart skips, skips a beat
Whenever we draw near to each other, I feel a sudden thrill or flutter in my chest.

So come on, spin me around
Let's twirl or spin around while dancing together.

Now I don't wanna go home
I don't want the night to end or to be apart from you.

'Cause when you hold me like this
The way you embrace me makes me feel loved and cherished.

I know I should, but I can't leave it alone
I'm aware that I shouldn't be so attached or clingy, but I can't help myself.

That's when my heart skips, skips a beat
I experience that same intense and exciting sensation in my heart when you hold me close.

At the start of the night I was like, what? Let's have a team talk
Initially, I wasn't sure about spending time with this woman and considered discussing it with my friends.

Playing with this lady isn't something I'd agree for
I wasn't really up for flirting or messing around with this person.

Vibes keep going up and down like a see-saw
The mood or atmosphere between us keeps fluctuating, like a playground toy.

Should have just taken her to the cinema to see 'Saw'
I regret not having chosen a more fitting or enjoyable activity for our date.

Ooh, she let me sleep with her, I figured her figure's a sure, sure winner
We ended up having sex, and I found her attractive and desirable.

Plus I got a lead from the back, I'm a skipper
I had a sexual conquest from behind, and now I'm feeling confident and proud.

You make my heart skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip a beat
You have a strong and exciting effect on my heart, causing it to skip multiple beats in quick succession.
